I would like to see us exploit teams on the first drive with the pass in a no-huddle offense (Locker has excel in this offense late in games). Show teams we can beat them in the air and force them to play the pass. The second drive I would pound the defense with a mixture of Greene/Battle and after the defense is worn see if C.J can break the big one.

I think this is a very good way to start.I'd like to see them come out on the first drive and throw it around a bit.Then that will make it a bit easier on the run game and like you said Greene and Battle pound the ball at the defense that would be the perfect time to send C.J. in when the defense is worn down.

Seems our OC Loggains should at least explore ideas like this as well instead of doing the same predictable playcalling every game.We got a good defense and if we can get the run game working we could eat a lot of time and control the tempo of the game.This would really work well against teams like Denver later in the season.I do think its very important that we get our run game established we don't want to put too much on Locker.

Bottom line is we have a great defense but they end up getting tired once the game progresses and our offense keeps going three and out.We definitely need to get better on time of possession because our defense can't do it all.Seems like we will be alright if we can get the offense moving and give our defense time to rest before the next series.

I still believe Cj's contract says he has to have like 25 carries a game or somewhere around that number. Why else would we keep giving him the ball and running him up the middle over and over again? Or it could be Loggains doesn't know what he is doing, Im still hoping one day the coaches will realize that Cj needs to be running to the outside not up the middle over and over again for negative yards!

you say that and i get visions of Palmers brilliant stretch run plays.

I know its already been discussed that we are about to play easier defenses as far as the run game is concerned.But if for whatever reason there is no improvement or only slight improvement i really wish they would limit his carries.There is no reason to waste plays running him into a wall of defenders over and over.I think they would need to try things differently like giving Greene and Battle more of the workload running the ball.Seems like Greene and Battle could wear some defenses down since they are both physical backs.

Also they could start throwing C.J. more passes out of the backfield.Not sure why they don't do this more often because he burns defenses once he gets out in the open field.We could use him for things like this more often instead the same 'ol up the middle.Bottom line is when they are feeding him the ball and he is not gaining yardage it is hurting our chances of doing anything on offense.I really would like to see Locker throwing the ball to his receivers more if the running game isn't working.

I'm not sure who would agree or disagree with me on that matter.Don't get me wrong i'd love to see C.J. run the ball well and for our offense to do well.I just don't like seeing our offense waste opportunities trying to get C.J. and the ground game going if its simply not working with him then its not working.No need to waste a quarter or two trying to get it going.Thats when i'd like to see the coaching staff either feed the ball more to Greene or open the passing game up some.

well b/c cj hits his big td's up the middle thats why. We just arent blocking that well though last week we did a better job with Schwenke or however u spell his name. Also if Locker keeps playing well teams will have to respect him more. He's finally beating the blitz which is confusing the hell out of defenses.
